Tasting Notes
Sweet fruit again on the nose. Clean. Tightens up in the mouth, and this is rather good. Sweet St Julien fruit. Complete. Good. Very St Julien in style. Joss Fowler, FINE+RARE, April 2015.

Tightly focused and ripe, with a lovely beam of blackberry, blueberry and plum fruit, lined with pastis hints and backed by brambly grip. Vivacious.—J.M. Wine Spectator, April 2015.
The smoky oak, full body and chunky tannins make a bold statement; indeed, the wine has plenty of flesh and packs a big tannic punch on the finish. Best Talbot in years. Drink in 2023. Feb 2017, www.jamessuckling.com
